 Wow, for a modern full feature front loader, it's really a POS! 1. To start off the power button must be pressed before adjusting cycles. 2. Prewash does not dump dirty water before main wash. 3. Rubber boot needs to be cleaned often because the way it is folded between drums. 4. Modifying wash time is God Awful long! 5. No prewash dispenser in the draw! 6. Stains in fabric barely budge even with long cycles and proper detergent dosages. I would add more to the list but I will have to go back and level the machine for it to spin right in the morning! Anyone own this great machine that never should have beenn built? | ||

Greg, It's my sister's machines and I just do laundry for her. I'm very picky how clothes come out and they are dismal with this pair. Whites are grey looking with bleach being used, the dryer gives you a face full of steam when checking dryness level towards the end of the cycle. I wanted to check venting to see how many turns or for blockage. The installers used that plastic aluminum ducting which I'm not a big fan of. All I can say, my Malber washer still out performs this washer for being a basic front loader when I had it! | ||

 It may be a HE3, as the HE3t has a heater, as well as a prewash detergent compartment. The HE3t drains the water from either a pre-wash or a pre-soak, and flushes the detergent from the main wash compartment during the main wash fill. The HE3 does not have a heater or the stain treat function, so I could see getting less satisfactory results. Most front load washers take longer to complete a cycle than a traditional top load washer.
I don't understand your first comment. Neither the HE3 nor the HE3t have power buttons. Selecting a cycle (pressing the cycle button) powers on the machine. You must select a cycle before modifying the settings, and must pause a running cycle to adjust settings. All it takes is two button presses to start the machine, as the default settings for each cycle work well for most loads.
I have had my HE3t for nearly 10 years, and it does and excellent job. The clothes come out fresh and sparkling clean while using a fraction of the recommended dose of HE detergent. I have successfully washed both large and small loads, and I have yet to have a stain that wasn't removed using the stain treat option.
Perhaps you need to choose a different cycle, settings, or detergent to get better results. It took me a little time to get the best results.
I love my HE3t, and worry I won't be satisfied when it needs to be replaced.
